So I'm a little aggravated about my lab numbers. The good news is my FBS is 88, the lowest it's ever been since I began this journey at 125 -- not horrible from the beginning, but high enough that it was a wake-up call, given that my father and one of his brothers died from cardiac problems in combination with Type 2. And my total cholesterol, which was 317 when I was first diagnosed low-thyroid and started this weight loss, has dropped to 200, without the aid of any medication. The bad news is that my thyroid medication needs to be bumped up, but more aggravating: In spite of all the regular exercise and good eating habits, my good cholesterol is at 29. After I've been on the new dose of thyroid meds, they'll do bloodwork again, and I'm going to ask for another cholesterol test, to see the impact of the levothyroxine, and in the meantime, I'm going to try to do more exercise and flax seeds and stuff to see if I can get the good cholesterol up. If that doesn't work, I give up -- because it's just bad genes and there's nothing else do do about it. How annoying.

29? Oh my. Amp the exercise up. Your HDL is more impacted by exercise. Kudos on the 200. From 317 to 200 sounds great. FBS=wonderful. I've got two parents with crappy Lipid panels and mine isn't, so keep at it and don't give in and fall into the "crappy gene" trap.

Great improvement! Don't beat yourself up, most of our cholesterol is produced by our bodies and not consumed in the foods we eat. Although higher HDL has a protective factor for the heart, continuing to improve LDL and overall will lower the ratio and still reduce risk.

Bumping up the thyroid med should increase your metabolic rate and provide more energy so you will want to move more, right?

You could add a little dry wine lol. Red may be best. That plus exercise is supposed to raise the good cholesterol.
If you are taking fish oil, aspirin, CoQ10, eating nuts and being sure to get enough B vitamins you can dramatically cut your risk.
That will be 80 bucks. You can pay up front on your way out.

Vit E is useful. However I am dubious of synthetic D alpha tocopherol. Mixed tocopherols are best but I haven't seen a supplement yet that was anything but 98 percent D alpha tocopherol, so your best bet is foods high in bit E

Took a look for foods high in Vitamin E -- 1) Almonds 1 oz: 7.3 mg (27% DV); 2) Spinach 1 bunch: 6.9 mg (26% DV); 3) Sweet Potato 1 Tbsp: 4.2 mg (15% DV); 4) Avocado 1 whole: 2.7 mg (10% DV); 5) Wheat germ 1 ounce: 4.5 mg (17% DV); 6) Sunflower seeds 2 Tbsp: 4.2 mg (15% DV); 7) Palm Oil
1 Tbsp: 2.2 mg (11% DV); 8) Butternut squash 1 cup, cubed: 2 mg (7% DV);
9) Trout 3 oz: 2 mg (7% DV); 10) Olive oil 1 Tbsp: 2 mg (7% DV). I eat most of these items regularly, with the notable exception of palm oil and wheat germ. Trout is seasonal for me -- in the spring and summer we get lake trout very cheaply, so I eat a lot of it. But I will pay more attention to eating items from the list going forward. Thanks Marcus Welby.
